When you take your puppy home, it is suggested you have a passenger hold them on their lap if you have not acquired a crate yet. Take along an old towel, paper towels and a plastic bag in case of motion sickness. When you arrive home, carry him to the designated area of your yard where he can explore and relieve himself before taking him into the house. Offer him some water but allow them some time to get used to you and his new surrounding before offering him food.
Housebreaking is made a lot easier with good anticipation skills from the new owners. You can expect a trip outside to be required after eating, drinking or waking up from a rest in the crate. After he has eaten and been outside (yes, again) you may notice that he is tired from the trip. Put him in his crate and let him rest frequently. While it may be very tempting to stay up late entertaining your new friend and enjoying his antics you may find that he would expect this treatment and attention every night once started so it is best if he settles into your household routine rather than start his own schedule for the family.
Allow them the nap time they require and do not allow family members to exhaust them with constant demands, commands and puppy retrieving. The first few nights away from his littermates can be a very lonely and frightening experience. While it might be considered short term pain for long term gain do not be afraid to keep the crate close to you at night such as in the bedroom where you can comfort and reassure them with words during the night. When they feel more comfortable and bonded with humans and get used to the routine you can place the crate in a convenient predetermined location in the house (hopefully close to a door).
